    GU10 Led light bulbs and other cool things/thoughts

    I have been doing tons of research the last few days and one of the things that has totally intrigued me is the Chinese GU10 socket Led light bulbs. They make them in 3-9 watts and from around 3400k-7000k, plus regular blue spectrum. They run only about $4-$10 off ebay with free shipping. Many...

    12DX - First saltwater tank

    Ya, me too. I picked up a sink cabinet from Home Resource today. I got it for $25 dollars and its new. I also found a table top to put on top of the cabinet and some track lighting fixtures to retro fit my Coralife 150 watt MH. I need to rebuild the cabinet to make it stronger but it is a good...

    12DX - First saltwater tank

    Thats funny, that is actually the very same way that I mounted my frags but it didnt work well. I ended up using silicone tape to hold everything in the mean time. I may need to find some better epoxy. I got the stuff I have from ace hardware. I forgot dan is closed on mondays. Hr told me he was...

    Vertex Illumina LED

    You'll have to teach me about these arduino controllers. They sound cool. I need to reconfigure my leds,with better drivers.

    12DX - First saltwater tank

    Ive got around 10 or so frags from sarmos tank as well now as well as a good amount of lethers, mushrooms and polyps. Im a total noob to fragging so it has been a challenge to cut the coral bases flat and glue them to frag disks or rocks. I tried epoxy putty but it sucks. My water flow has...

    WIP - 40 Breeder

    Ya ive been bugging dan about them since he ordered it. I came in the day he got it and watched him try to get it going but I guess he asked devon about it and found out it was missing a part. I wonder if he ordered the piece he needed or not. The mp10 is the best deal for the money. They call...

    I've been eyeballing those apex units. I would buy it if the price is right. I'm still in love with Vortechs as well though, I think having a wave through your tank is one of the coolest things you can do in this hobby. I just bought two eliminator E-107 power strips to clean up my aquarium...

    I wish. I do have a nice new radial saw and a good collection of hand tools and small power tools. On my list to get is a finishing nail gun, a table saw, and a plainer to be complete though. Every time I go to harbor freight, I just about freak out because everything there is so cheap. Someday...

    Thanks, that's a pretty cool site. Good shipping prices too. I sold my Imac so I should have enough to pay off my credit card and play with the rest lol. I'm just trying to decide if I actually need anything. I want a refugium and I keep eyeballing rimless glass tanks and that SWC 60 watt...

    That's not a bad deal. I paid around $10 on ebay for my last hole cutter. I may go that route if I can find a good tank to use for a refugium/sump

    My tank looks more beautiful than ever today! Thanks again Rob. Also I would be very interested in your blood shrimp, lawnmower or red scooter blenny, the flame angel, the fairy wrasse, or an anthia and a good clean up crew. Let me know if any of these are still available. I'm also interested in...

    I was taking a look at glasscages.com last night. Ive always wanted a 48" long tank, and there are quite a few that are very affordable, but shipping kills the deal. It looks like a 40b is the best dimensions for the money. A 30 long is a very cool frag tank too. Let me know if you come across a...

    Thanks so much Rob! I just got everything put in the tank and aquascaped and I couldn't be happier. Im sure I will probably be making another trip up there the next time I get a paycheck :-)

    Woops, that must be the one I was thinking of. You can find some quality ph probes for around $40 for it. I have seen it for as low as $120, so you could have a nice monitor for $160.

    Get an aqua lite. They seem very affordable. I read about another controller that should be coming out soon and is supposed to retail for around $150, and connects to your home network and everything. I want something I can monitor from my ipad.

    I would have to agree with your dream tanks dimensions, that sounds sweet. I don't know cars very well myself, but i'm a die hard diy're so i managed to pull my transmission out of my acura integra, rebuild it and put a new clutch in. I did that a couple weeks ago. It took me nearly a week to do...

    Wow, this awesome! Let me know if you need any help. DIY is my real passion. I would like to build a similar tank eventually, i love the dimensions of a 40g tank.
